Burt, Make sure "DF0" is indicated as a device in the pull-down menu. If it isn't, that may be your problem. As to the functionality of HD Backup, many here will attest to its unreliablity. The program does work, but you may be hesitant to trust important files to it. Here's some tips to help you along the way, DO NOT PRACTICE with important files: -Make sure first that your partitions appear as named after you have selected BACKUP from the pull down menu. If after you have formatted the HD you rename the partition something else, the old name will appear. You may have to change the name in the mountlist or add an assign command to the user-startup. CHOOSE THE PARTITION THAT YOU WANT TO BACK UP, OR THE ONE THAT HAS THE FILES. -Make sure "DF0:" is the device selected to receive the backed up files. -HD BACKUP will now read the files of the selected partition, at which time you should use the "Include" and "Exclude" gadgets to single out what you want to backup. Whe this is done, click on start. Make sure there's a floppy in DF0 to receive your backed up files. -HD BACKUP will generate a log and save it to a drawer called "Work". If the directory doesn't exist, you'll get an error message. Create the drawer in advance or save the log elsewhere. Hope this helps… A. Pagan
